In an experiment similar to the one you performed in Week 3, an experimenter measures the count rate of a radioactive element 10

0 times, calculates the mean and standard deviation of the data, and organizes the data into four bins:
Interval Number of Occurrences
n < n 15
< n < n 50 - 15
n < n < + 38
n > n + 12
The experimenter expects a Gaussian distribution. (For simplicity, assume 68 % of the counts fall within one standard deviation of the mean rather than the more exact value of 68.27 \%.) What is x?

attashe74 [19]

-- Heat is a form of energy.
-- Joule is the SI unit of energy.
ergo
-- Joule is a unit of heat.

'Degree Celsius' and 'Kelvin' are units of temperature.
Heat and temperature are different things.

A 1,508 kg car rolling on a horizontal surface has a speed of 20.8 km/hr when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is broug
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Approximately 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, assuming friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible.

Explanation:

Let m denote the mass of the vehicle. Let v denote the initial velocity of the vehicle. Let k denote the spring constant (needs to be found.) Let x denote the maximum displacement of the spring.

Convert velocity of the vehicle to standard units (meters per second):

\begin{aligned}v &= 20.8\; {\rm km \cdot h^{-1}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm m}}{1\; {\rm km}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm h}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \\ &\approx 1.908\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Initial kinetic energy ({\rm KE}) of the vehicle:

\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}\end{aligned}.

When the vehicle is brought to a rest, the elastic potential energy (\text{EPE}) stored in the spring would be:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

By the conservation of energy, if the friction between the vehicle and the ground is negligible, the initial \text{KE} of the vehicle should be equal to the {\rm EPE} of the vehicle. In other words:

\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2} &= \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}\end{aligned}.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for k, the spring constant:

\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the given values m = 1508\; {\rm kg}, v \approx 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, and x = 6.87\; {\rm m}:

\begin{aligned}k &= \frac{m\, v }{x^{2}} \\ &\approx \frac{1508\; {\rm kg} \times 1.908\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{(6.87\; {\rm m})^{2}} \\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \cdot m^{-3}}\\ &\approx 1.79 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}

How many times longer than the length of one year is the age of the universe?
Len [333]
No one can really tell exactly how old the universe is. However, scientists have attempted to estimate the time by using the concept of Doppler effect which depends on the frequency of the stars and their relative velocities. From literature, the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. Thus, the age of the universe is 13.82×10⁹ times longer than a year.
